Senior Developer — Windows Sensor
About the team
Orca Security is a cybersecurity startup and cloud innovation leader. Founded in 2019 in Israel by former Check Point managers, it raised $630+ million and became a 'unicorn' in 2021.
Orca is delivering a modern cloud security platform built for engineers who care about visibility, context, and speed. We scan your entire cloud environment – across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and more – giving you deep insights into risks like misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and active threats. Our unified platform shows you what actually matters by prioritizing findings based on context like exposure, privilege, and potential impact.
Cloud teams love Orca because it’s fast to deploy, easy to maintain, and built to scale with the way real infrastructure works.
About the role
We're the team building Orca Sensor – a lightweight runtime component that brings deep visibility and protection to cloud workloads running on Kubernetes, serverless engines and virtual machines.
You'll work on a scalable, low-overhead system that collects and processes real-time telemetry to detect threats and anomalies across all sorts of modern cloud environments.
Our mission is to make cloud security smarter, faster, and easier to deploy – without the burden of traditional agents. If you enjoy solving performance and reliability challenges in modern cloud infrastructure, you’ll feel right at home here.
While we're based in Warsaw and prefer local candidates, we're open to remote collaboration from anywhere in Poland for the right fit.
